A fantastic and a must read that gives a genuine feel of an indomitably spirited Soldier's Personal Diary! I ended up reliving the author's life precisely in 97 minutes matching with the number of pages of the book. But I'm left with indelible motivation everlastingly in my life! The turn of events in one's personal life is always unique to everyone but in this book it's all about facing death, fighting death and then recuperate to become an epitome of self-motivated soldier and a person! The narration left me inspired and humbled. For, I bet with the all body parts intact, many of us would have never thought of Paragliding, Running Marathon, Motorcycling, Swimming in a lake.. let alone being a simple human and source of motivation for people around us! Lt Col DD Goel has done it all and much more as an amputee! My Grand Salute to the author and his family! Speechless! God bless! Hope to read more from the author! Content like this should be brought to the silverscreen.. so that nation will respect the true heroes - The Soldiers!

Each and every word of this book is motivation in itself thanks for your kindness respected DD sir...One of great asset...

This is a brilliant story about a brilliant Army officer whose life has been a topsy turvy one and full of grit. Having lost his father at an early age he conquers the tragedy like a hero. Despite fate taking him to be the part of the finest armed forces of the world, it gets shattered when his leg gets amputated after a blast of IED. But this guy takes the hard life ahead in its full stride and conquers all odds. He then challenges himself to physical extremes despite a clear handicap and goes on to do paragliding, marathon running and even lake swimming. Alongside he tells his tale of character when he looks after his paralysed mother. There is also a silent story of his wife whom he dared to love as a teenager and she turns out to be his biggest strength.It is a must read story and it has to be made into a movie. All the best.

Lt. Col. Dharam is surely an inspiration. I loved the simplicity and yet subtlety of language which enabled me read this book in less than a day. Not cause it is smallish, but because his experiences make the book un-put-downable (if such a word exists)! indeed, i believe that's how his life has been...He has rightly explained the importance of certain characters like parents and spouse. I salute his caring attitude toward his mother whom he cared just like she would have cared for him as a toddler.His life sure seems to be a struggle, a struggle worth living and experiencing by own self. One could live the various characters in his story.I wish Lt. Col. Dharam nothing but the best for his personal life.JAI HIND!

This book have inspired me to always try and to face our fears, D.d have tremendous will power and can achieve almost anything he sets his eyes on.Col. relationship with his mother brought tears in my eyes as it reminded me of my father's relationship with my grandparents.I find inspiration through this book again as he speaks about thanking our natural coaches as i have held myself back alot of times thinking people will laugh or think etc etc. I will use Col. words and will become shameless.Do give it a read as everyone faces challenges everyday in their daily life and try to overcome it, however here is a man after overcoming so many challenges keeps on looking for new one.

Excellent realistic adventure of a man who served for India, highly motivating book

When people say that there is nothing greater than the power of extreme positive thinking, they are talking about the inspiring tales of living legends like Lt Col D D Goyal. This book is a wonderfully modest and spell-binding story of his battles and the overwhelming victory over them. A must read for all looking for unflowery yet impactful narration of the journey of the transformation of a common man into a Hero. Simply amazing...!!
